title: Photochromic oligothienoacene derivatives with photo-switchable luminescence properties and computational studies.
abstract: Photochromic thieno[3,2-b]thiophenes and dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]thiophene with photo-switchable luminescence properties have been synthesized using a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction; their electronic structures, and photochromic and luminescence behaviour have also been studied.
